Meet Dougie, the three-year-old miniature donkey who thinks he's a dog.

The pet lives with his owners Cal and Tom Stockbridge in Pickering, Yorkshire, where he has run of the house and goes for walks.

The animal loves company, is often found in writer Tom's office while he works - and bizarrely, also loves watching tennis.

Cal, 53, who runs a theatre company, said: 'He acts more like a dog than a donkey, he loves attention from people.

'Dougie was raised with a lot of human contact so when we got him aged¹ eight months old we wanted to maintain that.

'All our animals have run of the house and we wouldn't have wanted Dougie to be any different.'

Calfirst got Dougie as a present for her 50th birthday, having visited a friend who had a donkey.

When he was eight months old she brought him home to their small holding which is surrounded by 250 acres of Wildlife Trust land.

Caladded: 'We are like pretend farmers. We have lots of animals, but it's not a working farm. Dougie was put into the wildflower meadow at the bottom of our garden with a little shed for shelter.

'We have French windows that open out into the garden and before long Dougie found his way into the house.'

Dougie quickly made friends with the other animals, including Griff, Cal's seven-year-old Irish wolfhound, who is the same size as the donkey.

She said: 'We take Dougie for walks with Griff and he gets very cross if he sees us going and we don't take him with us.

'Griff gets a bit jealous of Dougie because he doesn't like to share me.'
